Forceware 81.98 Win9x/XP2K/64 Released

LOL, its only fun when you do it right

 

my computer sux.....

 

I broke my record for longest piss today....stood in the hallway and got 98% of it in the toilet. Previous record was the doorway.

 

too much information....

 

I was wearing a cape.

 

behave or i'll give you a neg rep!

 

[FRENDLY MODE/ON]WOW, what a statement! ...and guys, please stop spamming the sh1t out of this thread. if you ain't got nothing to say about 81.98, please go play some, do somenthing else than filling this forum with nonsense.[FRIENDLY MODE/OFF]

 

ok, so far
Games run nicely, 3Dmark benched smoothly, up 10 points.. up 200 points when overclocked to ponr

Halo looked smooth,.. the bad shader quality is fixed

NFSU still runs smooth,.. i guess thats still coz of more ram.

NWN looked good

overall.. i think these drivers are the best currently for FX users

 

decent IQ in BF2, otherwise haven't had a chance to play much

nice bump in 3DMark05, 81.98 are fastest yet on 7800 GT

3DMark05: 550/1389mhz

81.95.v2 = 9076
81.95 whql= 9084
81.98 whql= 9143


now time to try 82.12s

 

I rolled back.....

I was able to play a couple of games... exit...

After restarting those games, my system hard locked every time....

Anyway, no change whatsoever regarding the "opengl" bug... No mention of it in its release notes so I don't know who started the rumor that opengl performance should be fixed in this release.

Not even sure nVIDIA is aware of any of the problems...

So again a bogus driver added to the list...

81.85 is the best of the rest... or the best of the worst.

 

it was me.. and i mentioned it coz it directly says the dual core and corel bug was fixed which is related to dual core and opengl

 

also viewperf is a opengl performance applicatin.. this set fixes that which is also a affected by the dual core + opengl bug

 

Here here!!!

I must say, I had just installed these, never even benched them and moved onto the 82.12s. But from what I've heard they are similar in performance and IQ, with the exception of a couple of bug fixes

 

nope.. image quality improvement as well

 

Well I'm not sorry I missed out on the 81.98s so...
:supercool:

 

okay, maybe I missed it in the release notes then.

Anyway, I was going to try out those drivers some more but when it starts hardlocking my system it is time to roll-back. So I didn't really have a very good chance of thorougly testing those drivers.

Maybe I'll give it another spin this weekend.

 

i think this set requires a full uninstall and clean of profiles

 

That should be done for every set anyway.

Have you installed the dual core hotfix and enabled support via the registry?

 

I assume your question was directed at me...

Yup.... I have them.
